1. A machine directional oriented (MDO) barrier film, comprising:
two ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) layers, wherein the two EVOH layers are spatially separated from each other and each of the two EVOH layers has a thickness of 6 microns or below;
an intermediate polyolefin layer between the two EVOH layers, wherein the intermediate polyolefin layer is substantially free of anti-block agent;
tie layers between each of the two EVOH layers and the intermediate polyolefin layer; and
two outer polyolefin layers comprising high-density polyethylene (HDPE), wherein each of the two EVOH layers is disposed between the intermediate polyolefin layer and the two outer polyolefin layers,
wherein the MDO barrier film has a light transmittance of 90% or greater at a wavelength of 611 nm and the MDO barrier film has a total thickness of more than 20 microns to 70 microns.
